Global Trends in the Trampoline Park Market

The modern indoor trampoline park as we know it began with the launch of Sky Zone in the US in 2004. Initially conceived as a new type of sport venue, it quickly transformed into a recreational model due to public interest, and by 2011, the International Adventure & Trampoline Park Association (IATP) estimated up to 40 Trampoline Parks in North America.

There are now over 2,000 Trampoline Parks worldwide, with significant growth in Asia, the United States, and Europe. With major brands, such as Altitude Trampoline Park, Sky Zone, Bounce Inc, Rush Group and You Jump, playing pivotal roles in the industry, Trampoline Parks are now well-known, and easily accessible indoor play options worldwide.

Trends

• Integration of gaming technology: Venues are incorporating gamification elements to improve the visitor experience, increase attraction capacity, and boost motivation to return.
• Unique experiences: Personalised party packages, themed events, and new attractions exceed customer expectations and elevate buy-in.
• Location-driven builds: Increasing footfall and walk ins are key, and Trampoline Parks are increasingly being opened in retail spaces, and even airports, transforming the accessibility to play venues.
• Low-maintenance attractions: Reducing costs is crucial for trampoline park owners, and easy to run, simple-start attractions with high throughout offer increased return on investment through minimal staffing costs compared to high-staffing zones such as VR, laser tag and zip lines.
• Durable, long-lasting products: Products that are safe and withstand high customer usage are another benefit for trampoline parks, reducing fixing and replacement costs.

Drivers

• Rising health focus: Active fun is more important than ever, with health and fitness for all, but especially for children, having increasing prevalence worldwide.
• Growing popularity of indoor entertainment: Forget the standard bowling, ice skating, or swimming pool day out – Trampoline Parks are in! Why? They offer unique, active, indoor experiences for all ages.
• Innovative, tech-based attractions: The industry is constantly evolving, introducing new activity options, like obstacle courses, ninja warrior-style challenges, and interactive games, with competitive challenge driving visits.
• Expanding family and group outings: Trampoline parks are popular destinations for family outings, birthday parties, and corporate events, driving steady foot traffic and revenue growth.

During the early days of Trampoline Parks, these venues mostly hosted large trampoline courts, offering simple jumping experiences for both experts and newbies. However, this design needed to a strategic shift to:

Elevate the experience

There’s only so much you can jump! With customers getting bored, simple trampoline beds mean reduced visit time and motivation to return.

Optimize space

By reducing trampoline beds and offering varied attractions, parks can cater to a wider audience whilst increasing park capacity, boosting footfall and revenue.

Improve safety

Extensive trampoline areas are a hotbed for injuries, especially with customers jumping between trampoline beds without additional attractions keeping focus.

Standard jumping won’t cut it anymore – children and young adults are seeking more and more digital experiences, with kids needing more stimuli and technology at their fingertips.

Plus, competition and gamified play encourages longer sessions, return visits, and sharable experiences! Explore our interactive Trampoline Park solutions here.

Leading Trampoline Parks now offer additional attractions, such as interactive jump walls with FreeStyle Duo and High-9 reaction games, obstacle courses with our TriggerTrac timing system, air bags, arcade games, and even impressive interactive arenas with Freedom Gaming technology!

Retail Park locations

Dubbed ‘retailtainment’, we’re seeing more retail locations incorporate leisure and entertainment into their offering, creating a one-stop-shop for customers. Read our blog on the rise of destination leisure here.

All-in-one venues

Some Trampoline Parks now offer multi-functional spaces, incorporating café, office working spaces, party rooms, soft play and more, to cater to a diverse customer base.

Flexible layouts

From modular activity areas to event spaces, Trampoline Parks are becoming more versatile, able to have seasonal themes, capitalize on events, festivities, and whole park hires.

We attended SkyCon 2025, the annual Sky Zone conference in Las Vegas, to showcase our products, connect with park owners across the US and learn about what’s new in the Trampoline Park market.

As expected, Trampoline Parks are showing a similar trend over the past few years: Less trampolines, more interactives!

This is in line with kids’ shorter attention spans, insurance costs, better space utilization, and the growing importance of technology in play spaces.

The Trampoline Park industry shows no signs of slowing down, and we’re excited to be part of the innovation and expansion in the market. Going forward, we see further development in the following areas:

Technological advancements

More interactive gaming solutions for Trampoline Parks, incorporating competition and team games into attraction offering.

Global expansion

Emerging markets show significant growth opportunities, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as further growth from big players in the industry

Health and wellness focus

As health concerns rise, Trampoline Park and indoor play venues are promoting the health benefits of active fun to broaden appeal and benefit communities.

A shift from Trampoline to Adventure Parks

Parks are leaning away from a focus on trampoline courts and offering a diverse range attractions for all demographics and interests.
